The Senate Probuild gives you all the major benefits of its Vapor counterpart but mellows it out in a wider platform for greater comfort and control at slightly slower speeds and on longer lines. The only major difference in the Senate model is a 2/10 of an inch step on the outside of the concave, offering width and greater stability so the ski can handle easily with less angle on cuts and sit flat with ease. The evolution of the Senate adds greater control and comfort in your movements by maintaining a steeper concave entry, increased rocker taper, which enhances the size of the flat spot underfoot, and a greater radius through the nose and tail of the ski. To increase the consistency through turns and create tighter turning capabilities, the Senate now has a reduced thickness in the sidewall, keeping the ski more connected in the turn, while the subtler edge angle and a sharper bevel through the nose that mellows through the tail keep the ski where you need it in the turn, but without the aggression of a Vapor design. The final aspect of this ski is the speed control, keeping the naturally fast Senate staple that it has become known for, but with the updated sharper edge bevel now allowing the ski to decelerate better into the turns for greater control throughout the entire ski performance from the start to end of the turn. The Senate Probuild earns its Probuild name in its construction, with a blend of PMI foam and TeXtreme carbon laminates. PMI reaches around eight times faster than PVC and, combined with the carbon laminate, rockets you out of turns to get you across the wash faster. This is all balanced with a layer of Ineggra to reduce the vibration generated by the ski design.
Rocker
- Continuous Rocker - A continuous rockerline through the tip and tail of the ski provides a considerably more stable and forgiving feel in transitions from edge to edge in the build-up to the apex of your cut, while without a flat spot, there is no longer a pivot point allowing for reduced sticking points and allows for consistency and comfort both on your on and off-side
- Increased Flat Spot - Increased the sweet spot from your front foot to halfway down the back, providing a bigger sweet spot, a more predictable feel from your ski, providing greater drive through the ski, and increased hold and angle in turns.
- Increased Rocker Taper - by increasing the taper of the rocker through the nose and tail of the ski, the flat spot through the centre of the ski is artificially increased, allowing you to have more feel and connection underfoot, allowing you and the ski to move better as a whole rather than two separate parts, ultimately allowing you to feel more consistent in your actions.
Flex
- Flex Rating(1=Soft, 10=Stiff) - 10/10, (this guys a winner)
Core
- Secret ProBuild core - The not-so-secret ProBuild core is a PMI machine molded core specifically designed to be light and responsive like other high-end cores and offer an unparalleled amount of feel, giving any skier all the feedback they need on the water.
- Carbon Rods - Optimising the flex in the ski's turning so you can pivot and drive out of turns like a race car
Laminates
- TeXtreme Carbon - A bi-directional Carbon layer that uses wider, flatter carbon taping allowing for the ultimate strength and torsional rigidity
- Innegra Technology -A rubber dampening layer placed under the later of carbon allows for energy distribution, in turn reducing vibration.
- Race Base - A base laminate that increases speed and allows it to be carried into the turn
- Bio Resin - It's good for the environment
Shape
- 2/10" Wider than Vapor - This Vapor-inspired Senate takes everything you could imagine from the Vapor and adds 2 tenths of an inch to the width to add that little bit of stability and give it greater float at slower speeds
- Sharper Hybrid Bevel - This sharp bevel from your foot forward allows for greater ability to lean into turns, creating more angle while providing greater control and deceleration into the turn and a tighter radius at the top of your cut. Blending to a softer bevel through the tail allows the ski to maintain balance, allowing you to maintain a turn angle through the whole turn and into the centreline.
- Wider For-body - an increase in width in the for-body of the ski creates stability and allows you to stand over the top of the ski with more confidence before heading into your turns.
Increased Tail Taper - adding to the wider forbody of the ski, the increased taper gives you a more comprehensive platform through more of the sweet spot in the ski, creating stability and control underfoot, but also allows the ski to have more tip pressure, meaning less work to get the ski over and around into turns and smoother tighter turns. - Reduced Tail Width - Allows the ski to drift in the tail mid-turn and stay planted all at once, giving you more angle in your turn.
- Reduced Sidewall Thickness - the reduced sidewall density helps keep the ski agile and your turns tighter.
Concave
- Full Edge-to-Edge Concave - a full concave throughout the whole width of the ski creates a fluid motion and greatly supports your cut, allowing you to focus on where you want to place the ski.
- Depth - Increased depth throughout the entire length of the ski creates more lift and support while also adding greater volume; this, in turn, translates to greater push on the outer bevels of the ski and an easier ability to pivot into your edges and a tighter turn radius
